Which is hotter, Canopus or Vega? How much brighter?

Physics

Temperature determines the hotness or coldness. The surface temperature of Canopus is 7350 K. The surface temperature of Vega is 9602 K. Because the surface temperature of Vega is greater than Canopus, Vega is hotter.

Brightness is determined by the star's magnitude. The apparent magnitude of Canopus is (-0.72) and that of Vega is (0.03). we know that, lesser the magnitude, brighter is the star. Hence, Canopus is brighter.

Vega is hotter but Canopus is brighter. This is because, brightness depends on the star's distance and size of the star as well other than the factor temperature.

When it comes to optics, Snell's law is the basic formula to be used. If you notice, when light hits the water, the light does not travel in the same direction. After, it hits the water, it changes in angle. Light becomes refracted. This is observed when your hands tend to become bigger if you place it underwater. The formula for Snell's Law is

n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂sin θ₂, where n is the index of refraction. This depends on the type of medium. For example, for air, n=1. The parameters θ₁ is the angle of incidence, and θ₂ is the angle of refraction. Critical angle is the incident angle needed so that the refract angle is 90°. So, modifying the equation:

n₁ sin θcrit = n₂sin 90°, since sin 90°=1,
sin θcrit = n₂/n₁
θcrit = sin ⁻¹ (n₂/n₁)

Since liquid comes first before glass, n₁=1.75 and n₂=1.52. Substituting,
θcrit = sin ⁻¹ (1.52/1.75)
θcrit = 60.29°
